Hi everyone,Ive been looking around many shops, IE pets at home, and an aquatics shop... I was appalled at what I saw, my boyfriend had to restrain me from shouting at the store manager, who insisted the dragons were "wellkept"

Poor things, were in 1-2 ft vivs and were at least 6 months old, all covered in crickets and lathargic!

I didn't bother looking at their set up prices.

But, I went to a petshop, a local one, and they were so helpful, the lady who helped me, seemed to really know what she was talking about!I was looking at set ups, and it was £235 excluding the beardie, is this reasonable?

It was all suppliments, substrate, all lighting-with a 5 year guarantee, 4 ft by 2 ft viv!! A heat mat which I said wouldn't use, a poop scoop, all accessories. I think thats it! But they beardies aren't cheap, they said its to put people off buying them, unless its really what they want Libby

Hi for the the heat source just have a trip to bnq for abit of cable,2 screw 60w spotlight bulbs for around 2-3pounds and a screw bulb unit for around 3 pounds again. You can get new 4 foot vivs of ebay for around 100 pounds.The only pricey bit is the uvb bulb/starter unit and stat all this id keep a eye on ebay for.

Really you can be fully setup for around 150-200 max.

I shall have a viv for sale in around a week but its 110 by 50 so shant really be ideal once its fully grown and your a fair distance away.

so i thought,had to buy extra things as guy had a spotlight heat bulb so i bought some spare ones found out was a pulse thermo so had to change the holder for eddison screw as was a B/cap fittment but then my brain started to work so just bought a B/cap converter to ES and then heat bulb for my pulse thermo,need to buy a new tube as uv one flickers and have no idea how old that one is
